    Mount up for the situation!

    I think it would be cool and very Final Fantasy-like if these mounts we are getting actually served a purpose for certain parts of the map. Take the Gobbue for instance. A tall mount would be great for walking in water or swampy areas. A Drake would be able to get through certain tempratures i.e. fire areas. The floating eye would assist us in getting across those small gaps we can't access.

    These are obviously just examples but I think these are great ideas for the mounts coming are way. Give us a reason to use them, to obtain them. Have a purpose for them other than getting us from point A to B that we have already discovered both on foot and on Chocobo a million times. Bring significance to each new mount with a means of assisting us to get to areas we couldnt get to with a previous mount.

    What does everyone think of this?

    Personally I don't see the point of it, your just creating a system where these new mounts will be manditory and serve no purpose outside of their pre-designed purpose.

    Then again I like being able to explore everywhere on foot instead of mounting a giant eyeball to cross a gap.

    Gobbues are for dancing!

    I know I did this earlier, but I simply can't help myself.

    The maps in the PDF have chocobo shortcuts and shortcuts you can only do on foot. So, this wouldn't be a stretch, really.

    Also, I like the idea for something relating to the gobbues or other potential mounts themselves. Extending on your suggestion, an area where there is a gobbue camp in which only they can reach. So, in order to get there you call one to assist you!

    I would really like terrain specific mounts- points for immersion. Of course, I'm also a nerd for the concept of geomancer with abilities that change based on where you're standing, weather, etc...

    That doesn't look safe at all...

    They simply cannot implement what you're asking for, since Goobbue mounts are just for us pre-2.0 players. It would be completely unfair for the other people unless it were some place just for the scenery of it. But there'd be jealousy and all that rabblerabble.

    So... no. Chocobos, fine. But not with Goobbues.
